This is essentially abuse. Two minutes of some tool holding a cat in place, clearly against its will. And as if the treadmill wasn't bad enough, it just had to be underwater as well? This isn't something you laugh at on the internet. This is something you present in court.

I honestly can't really say this is animal abuse. First of all, while I'm not an expert in this area by any means (so I'm open to correction), but I do remember hearing about how a lot of physical therapy for both humans and animals use water as it is easier on their joints.

Secondly the cat really doesn't look that traumatized. At the most it looks baffled and probably slightly annoyed. (Also believe it or not there are some cats who do like water. Most cats don't like water, but sometimes you get the occasional cat that does).

Third, I would think that letting your cat get THIS obese would count more as animal abuse then this does. Obesity causes a slew of health problems for them, not to mention that it hinders their ability to groom themselves properly in certain areas (which means a lot of gross details I really don't want to get into).

This is feline hydrotherapy, so if any other PETA idiots want to bawww about it, they can look up this very helpful therapy for overweight animals before taking offence on behalf of an animal.Just saying. The music was lovely though, and the cat looks a little inconvenienced.

This is a use of HYDROTHERAPY! Plus it is a PERSON holding the cat! You can see her standing in the water with the cat. I know plenty of ASPCA officers. And it may have had a disease where it's weight was an issue. Like cushings disease causes weight loss.

Leave the poor guy alone, the music is really good. There's too many of you people on the internet who are happy to dish out abuse when it's totally inappropriate and someone just wants to hear some nice relaxing cat abuse music.

No don't leave the poor guy alone. He only wants to know more about the music so that he can set it to other animal abuse videos. Why is it that some people just can't help themselves from furiously masturbating over videos of fat animals in water set to terrible music? I am disgusted and depressed by the sexual gratification you gain from animal abuses.

ahhh it not animal abuse . My dog went through the type of therpy when he messed up his leg from a fight with another dog . it just video of fat cat going through weight loss therpy with gay music . Cat are lazy fuckers to begin with, you ever try taking a cat for walk. water therpy like this is very important in alot of medical issue for animal

I would like to see this type of therapy used upon hippos because they are much bigger than cats and therefore need the exercise more urgently. I'm shocked that they didn't use this on elephants, hippos and rhinos before applying it to cats.

In fact this is not a fat training at all. This cat was 50% disable after a fell from his appartment (third floor if I recall), after an operation taht did succeed in giving back his motricity, the cat did go under reahabilitation, and this video is a footage of one of the reahibilitation course.
